A specialized mobile service provider Webtel.mobi launched this week and is significantly cutting the costs for mobile calls and texts worldwide by up to 80%.
Webtel.mobi can be used by any person with a web-enabled mobile phone from anywhere in the world from their own phone – regardless of the contract type or local service provider, and with no need to change their service provider or their own phone number.
The Webtel.mobi service cuts costs for calling and texting from mobile phones for local, international and roaming calls and texts, and provides the same rate sheet to all countries worldwide. Webtel.mobi is also now one of the largest mobile calling and texting providers in the world by geographical reach and coverage.
Its technology platform integrates mobile calling and texting over the internet from mobile phones, via a remote a Next Generation Switch. As long as the calling phone is web enabled, the caller can call or text any other phone worldwide easily and for up to 80% less than via their mobile operator.
Stuart Sterzel, CEO of Webtel.mobi, said: “In 2007 over US$800 Billion was spent on mobile phone communication internationally, with US$100 Billion on texting alone. This year it is set to rise above US$1 Trillion. As people look to save money in the credit crunch, Webtel.mobi will cut the cost of their calls and texts dramatically, whether it be for local or international calls or texts, and for both Contact and Pay-as-you-Talk users.”
Independent industry experts and commentators have also gone on the record to say that the Webtel.mobi product has good functionality and is easy to use.
Frost and Sullivan mobile telecommunications analyst Saverio Romeo added: “International calls are so expensive simply due to lack of attention by the mobile industry and a lack of pressure from regulatory authorities. Webtel.mobi will have a great impact on the competition and a great impact on reducing these charges.”
